For further information for a particular college contact that College's Admissions Office. |
| Entry method: |
Applicants need do nothing special about entering for the test, as colleges will inform applicants of all admissions requirements. |
| Test date: |
The test will be administered mainly during the interview period. |
| Duration of test: | 90 minutes |
| Further information: |
Colleges will choose the format in which they will administer the test, paper-based and on-line. The test will in all cases be administered under examination conditions, with an invigilator present. Colleges will explain the procedure to candidates at the time. |
| If the test is taken in paper-based format then answers will need to be recorded on a special answer sheet. As the test uses multiple-choice questions this is done by marking the box on the answer sheet corresponding to the answer chosen. |
| If the test is taken in the on-line format then it will be given on a standard computer using a web browser style interface. Candidates will read the questions on the computer screen and indicate their answers by clicking the appropriate answer box from the choices presented. |
